The title of my video is "Tango Intervention".
In this video me and my friend Andrea Katz dance Argentine Tango in
the streets of Manhattan.
The intention was to interrupt "business as usual", the phrase you
hear a lot these days in the media about our failed financial
institutions.
It is about reclaiming public space with beautiful acts of intimacy.
It involves dancing where dancing is not expected. In the public
street environment this acts as a gentle intervention, a short
interruption in the normal business of life. It confuses and amuses
people and generally leaves them with a smile.
The inspiration for sending the video was watching an episode on ABC's
Dancing With The Stars.
Unlike ballroom dancing or dance on a stage,
Argentine Tango is not “performed” to be seen. It is danced only for
the pleasure of the dancers. The dance
is not choreographed to “play to the crowd"
